Hey folks, We have been working on a project called InlineStyle

A European, open-source, fediverse based alternative to the Google ecosystem.

Itโ€™s a single platform with these services:

  • ๐Ÿ“ง Email address @inlinestyle.it
  • ๐Ÿ“น Video sharing via PeerTube
  • ๐ŸŽต Music streaming with Funkwhale
  • ๐Ÿ“ Docs and Drive via Collabora/NextCloud
  • ๐Ÿ“’ Markdown based notes
  • ๐ŸŽฎ Browser-based FOSS games (Celeste Classic, Tyrian, SuperTux, etc.)
  • ๐ŸŒ Static personal site hosting

All hosted in Europe. No telemetry, no ads, no corporate BS.

Itโ€™s not a startup pitch, just something we built because we got tired of being locked in.

The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (โ‚ฌ1.90/month) that unlocks upload features and personal email/webspace. Free tier available too, no login needed to browse.

Would love your thoughts. What should I improve? Whatโ€™s missing for you to consider switching?

Our goal is to try to build a real #DeGoogle fediverse based path that doesnโ€™t feel like a downgrade. It will take time, but we are willing to try and stay committed to the mission.

Looks interesting - and ambitious. Who are you targeting this for? Non-tech people who do everything on their phones? What would attract such people to make the switch?

Anyway good luck. Do you allow people to use their own (or a third party's) email domain? A lot of people would not want to give up their established email address.

(And a small thing - it's spelt leisure not leasure! Otherwise it looks good and professional)

What should I improve?

Your communication about what you're selling. You're selling hosting services. Please make that clear up front.
